2011 Chrysler 300 4 DR 4WD

CAN C BUS: its a typical issue with the 2011 Chrysler 300. The main code for the CAN C Bus "U000200" after the scan tool, the issues found are ABS Can C Bus off performance: BCM (Body Controller Module) Can C Bus off performance, SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) Can C Bus off performance, Radio Frequency Can C Bus off performance. All affect the safety and driveabilty of the car. The car drives and in the midst of driving the car stalls in traffic, the car vibrates really bad, the car seems to lose power on acceleration. Please take a look into this, as this is a common issue with the Chrysler 300.

THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WILL ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY AND RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE AND DISAPPEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PHYSICAL ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE OR CONTROL OF THE CAR. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2012 FOR THIS POSSIBLE SITUATION BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS THE SAME OR IF MY VEHICLE WAS EVER RECALLED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE VERY SPORADIC. WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING. SOMETIMES I WILL TURN THE CAR ON AND IT WILL BE THERE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T. IT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. I LIVE WHERE IT SNOWS AND ONLY DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE WARM WEATHER MONTHS SO I HAVE YET TO LOOK INTO IT.

CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER UNDER PRESSURE, ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH. USUALLY WHEN COLD OR PULLING HARD ON A HILL OR PASSING. ENGINE RAN ROUGH, MISFIRING AND OUT OF BALANCE. COULD NOT CONTINUE TO PASS ON ONE OCCASSION; HAD TO PULL BACK, WRANGLE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND STOP VEHICLE. MISDIAGNOSED: REPLACED PLUGS, COIL & INJECTOR ON VALVE #5. DID NOT CORRECT. FINALLY DIAGNOSED AS BAD CAMSHAFT. VEHICLE HAS A HEMI. TECHNICIAN STATED HE HAS REPLACED MANY OF THESE ON VARIOUS ENGINES WITH A HEMI IN A FOUR YEAR RANGE. STATED IT IS A COMMON FAILURE ON THOSE VEHICLES BUT NOT LISTED ON A RECALL. THIS FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. HAVING EXPECTATIONS OF THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, AS IT NORMALLY WOULD, NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. ADDITIONALLY BOGGED DOWN TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CONTINUE AT A SPEED OVER 45 MPH. TRAFFIC BECAME BOTTLENECKED BEHIND ME ON THE INTERSTATE UNTIL I COULD WRANGLE TO THE SHOULDER. I ALSO OWN A DODGE RAM TRUCK IN THE SAME YEAR RANGE AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE TECHNICIAN TO BE PREPARED FOR IT TO GO OUT ON THAT VEHICLE ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS WIFE WHO OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR AN ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT CYLINDER HEAD GASKET AND ENGINE OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE.

I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND ON I 20 GOING WEST IN CONYERS APPROX. 5:45 IN MORNING. THERE WAS AN OBSTACLE IN MY RIGHT LANE. THIS OBSTACLES WAS A CAR BUMPER. MY INSURANCE HAS TOTALLY SAID MY CAR IS UN REPAIRABLE. THIS HAS CAUSE A HARDSHIP FOR ME

I HAVE THREE CHRYSLER, DODGE CARS AND ALL THREE OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS MESSING UP ON THREE OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME. ONE OF THEM IS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300 WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES, 2010 DODGE NITRO TRUCK WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND A 2012 DODGE AVENGER OVER 100,000 MILES. I FEEL THAT DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD HAVE THIS AS ONE OF THE RECALLS. THE 2010 DODGE NITRO TRUCK MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING JUST CUT OFF ON HER ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SHE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. AND THE 2012 DODGE AVENGER IS SITTING UP IN MY DRIVE WAY NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE OF ITS SO EXPENSIVE TO GET THEM REPAIRED. MY 2011 CHRYSLER 300 AND 2010 DODGE NITRO TRUCK IS GOING IN THE SHOP TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE, BUT I FEEL DODGE, CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD BE EATING UP THE COST FOR THESE REPAIRS. THE DODGE TRUCK STOPPED ON HER OCT 15TH ON THE FREEWAY, DURING TRAFFIC HOURS.

STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT WOULD NOT START CAR WOULD NOT START

CAMSHAFT / LIFTERS ARE PREMATURELY WEARING OUT( WIPED ) THE CAR IS THROWING A P0300 ,P0303 CODE BUT THE SPARK PLUGS,COILS ETC ARE FINE ..ENGINE SHAKES AND KNOCKS WHILE DRIVING THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS EVIDENT LOSE OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ONLY 88000+ MILES

HEAVY GAS SMELL UPON FILL-UP. SEEMS TO BE INSIDE VEHICLE

"TAKATA RECALL" MY BLIND SPOT SENSORS ON MY CHRYSLER 300C AWD SAY'S THAT THEY NEED TO BE SERVICED AND THE LIGHTS REMAINING ON THE MIRRORS ALONG BY THE OBNOXIOUS BEEPING SOUND AND THE SCREEN TELLING ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO SERVICE THESE SENORS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WENT FROM ONE CAR WASH TO MALFUNCTIONING ON AND OFF TO NOW THIS HAPPENS AT THE START OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT STOP. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH OTHER OWNERS AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 72K MILES ON IT AND OWNED A TAD OVER A YEAR. ALL THE FORUMS I GO TO THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES THAT I AM SEEING. IS THERE A WAY TO STOP THE CAR FROM BEEPING AND FLASHING ONCE THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN RECEIVED, THIS IS DANGEROUS!

ON ALL 5 OCCASIONS, VEHICLE WOULD ALLOW ME TO PUT INTO PARK BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TURN VEHICLE OFF. 4 OF 5 TIMES THIS OCCURRED, I DROVE AROUND WHILE OCCASIONALLY STOPPING TO PUT CAR INTO REVERSE AND BACK THRU GEARS AGAIN BEFORE IT'D FINALLY LET ME PARK AND TURN OFF. 1 OF 5 TIMES, THE CAR LET ME PUT INTO PARK AND PRESS START BUTTON UNTIL IT WENT TO 3RD SETTING BEFORE IT'D ALLOW ME TURN VEHICLE ME OFF. IN ADDITION, 2 TIMES THIS VEHICLE, WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, HAS SWITCHED INTO 1 OR 2 DRIVE GEAR WITHOUT MY PUTTING IT THERE. ONCE STOPPED, I HAD TO TRY GOING THRU GEARS MANY TIMES BEFORE IT'D LET ME RETURN TO D. MY BELIEF IS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SHIFTER OR PERHAPS AN ISSUE WITH WHATEVER TIES IN OR ATTACHED TO SHIFTER.

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL COMPLAINT NUMBER 10894758.

I OWN A 2011 CHRYSLER 300 WITH JUST OVER 46,000 MILES. MY WIFE IS THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. HAVING TROUBLE WITH TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. GEAR SHIFT IS IN "PARK" BUT INFORMATION SCREEN SAYS "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK" THUS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PERIODICALLY SINCE MAY 2016 AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I TOOK CAR TO CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER ON 07 19 16, AND AFTER 1 & HALF DAYS, ON 07 21 16 I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP VEHICLE, AND THAT THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN." THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO TRY SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE AND THEN TO PARK, OR HOLD THE SHIFTER IN PARK. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!! THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! IMMEDIATELY AT MY FIRST STOP AND REMAINDER OF THE DAY, I COULD NOT TURN OF THE ENGINE RIGHT AWAY; IT TAKES UP TO 9 MINUTES OF SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH TO DRIVE AND PARK BEFORE IT FINALLY SHUTS OFF. TODAY, 07 31 16, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, I HAD TO FUEL MY CAR WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING BECAUSE I COULD NOT SHUT IT OFF!!! I WAS TERRIFIED THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF EXPLOSION. THEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK" MESSAGE WAS STILL ON. I COULD NOT CLEAR THIS MESSAGE. THEN WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, IT TOOK ANOTHER 5-6 MINUTES TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I HAVE TO SIT IN MY CAR UNTIL I CAN SHUT IT OF BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL SOMEHOW ENGAGE AND POSSIBLY TO DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR INJURE SOMEONE, EVEN MYSELF. I'M TAKING THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER AGAIN TOMORROW IF I CAN GET AN APPOINTMENT.

"TAKATA RECALL" TODAY SUNDAY JULY 31,2016 I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHRYSLER 300 DOWN THE STREET IN A LANE OF BUSY TRAFFIC WITH MY FAMILY ALL OF A SUDDEN A RED LIGHT CAME ON IT LOOKED LIKE A BATTERY SYMBOL.SO I CONTINUED DRIVING HOPING TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY WITH THE KIDS ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I MADE IT TO THE CURVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MY RADIO SHUT DOWN THEN THE ALL LIGHTS LIT UP IN THE DASHBOARD AREA AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE CURVE.MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN.MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS WOULDN'T EVEN WORK TO EVEN NOTIFY ONCOMING DRIVERS PULLING UP BEHIND ME BUT THANK GOD SOMEONE PULLED UP BEHIND UP AND HELPED US BY USING THEIR EMERGENCY FLASHERS UNTIL MY WRECKER ARRIVED.THERE WAS ALSO A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY HOOD.I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS INCIDENT IT PUT MY LIFE AND MY CHILDRENS LIFE IN DANGER.I HAD THE CHRYSLER 300 TOWED TO THE SHOP AND I AM WAITING ON THEIR REPORT OF WHAT WAS THE CAUSE FOR MY VEHICLE TO FAIL ME IN SUCH A DANGEROUS CURVE AND I WISH SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME DIRECTLY ABOUT MY FINDINGS CAUSE THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED TRAGICALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO OBSERVE THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE FUMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

TAKATA RECALL CHRYSLER SENT A NOTICE TO ME WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO THE WEB SITE "RECALLS.MOPAR.COM" TO SIGN UP FOR NOTIFICATION WHEN REPAIR PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I TRIED TO DO THIS BUT THE SPECIFIED WEB SITE WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE A SIGN UP. PLEASE INSTRUCT CHRYSLER TO FACILITATE THIS PROCESS SO THE CAR CAN BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE CARS ALTENATOR FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL (SHUT DOWN) WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE BACK SIDE OF A STRIP MALL ON FLORIN ROAD. POPPING THE HOOD REVEALED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE AND A LOT OF IT. WE HAD TO PAY TO GET THE CAR TOWED HOME.

ALTERNATOR BURNED UP DURING OPERATION DISABLING CAR AND PUTTING OUT STRONG BURNING SMELL. NOT COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL.

ALTERNATOR BURNED UP DURING OPERATION DISABLING CAR, SMOKE POURING OUT FROM UNDER HOOD WITH STRONG BURNING SMELL.

CHRYSLER HAS A SAFETY RECALL (P60) FOR AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL CAUSING SUDDEN SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR FIRE. THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY STATES THE 160AMP ALTERNATOR IS AFFECTED, HOWEVER MANY DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 180AMP ALTERNATORS IN THE SAME AFFECTED VEHICLES. ON JUNE 2 2011, MY CAR SHUTDOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY STREET. I THEN NOTICED A BURNING SMELL, AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE LOCATION OF THE SMELL WAS ALSO CONFIRMED BY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS BUT WAS GIVEN NO ASSISTANCE. THE COST TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE EXCEEDS $1000. THE RESULT OF MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN SUDDENLY COULD HAVE ENDED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORTUNATELY, MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR IN THE 300 MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A KEYLESS IGNITION. IN ADDITION, "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK" WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTED INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS FIRMLY IN PARK, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE THAT ANY PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 10/06/16*LJ

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I'VE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A WEIRD WHINING NOISE WHEN I WOULD CRANK IT IN THE MORNING. SO TODAY WHILE CRANKING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT IT WAS HESITANT TO START THEN I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD STATING "BATTERY SAVER MODE". I THEN NOTICED THE WHINING NOISE GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND THEN I STARTED TO SMELL A BURNING SMELL THAT WAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. I NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED AN ALTERNATOR RECALL FOR 3.6L VEHICLES ONLY AND I FEEL THAT ONE SHOULD BE ISSUED TO COVER THOSE WHO HAVE THE 5.7L VEHICLES. I'VE NOTICED THAT SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT.

CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL P60 FAILED TWICE (NHTSA RECALL #14V-634). UNFORTUNATELY TODAY (LESS THAN 1 WEEK AFTER 2ND REPLACEMENT) THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AGAIN LEAVING THE VEHICLE ACTING ERRATICALLY WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES OR THE ABILITY THE SHIFT GEARS WHILE DRIVING KIDS TO SCHOOL. THANKFULLY IT WAS ON LOCAL STREETS AND ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. SANSONE (CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP) HAS NOW TWICE PERFORMED THIS CHRYSLER 300 SAFETY RECALL P60 (ELECTRICAL/ALTERNATOR) REPAIR WITHOUT SUCCESS. WE HAVE OPENED A NEW CASE WITH CHRYSLER ASKING TO HAVE IT PERFORMED AT A TRUSTED REPAIR SHOP IN METUCHEN AND RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT. THEY HAVE SENT US THE AUTHORIZATION. IF CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE/REPAIR/REPLACE THE SAFETY RECALL PROBLEM/PARTS INSTALLED TWICE (LAST ONE LAST WEEK) THAT FAILED AGAIN TODAY, AT NO COST AND WITHOUT DELAY, DEALER SHOULD SEND A VEHICLE TO PICKUP THE CAR (IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN MORE THAN A FEW FEET BEFORE EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN) AND WE SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO PROCEED WITH A REIMBURSEMENT OPTION AT A TRUSTED REPAIR SHOP. APOLOGIZE IF IT SEEMS RASH, BUT VERY UPSET OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.O N 11-21-2015 IT WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE.WHEN I PICKED IT UP ALL THE DOORS AND TRUNK WERE OPEN PRESUMABLY TO AIR OUT THE FUMES.I HAD MY SON CHECK TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS,HE FOUND FUEL LEAKING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK.A LARGE AREA OF THE SOUND PROOFING UNDER THE CAR WAS SOAKED WITH GASOLINE. AFTER CHECKING SEVERAL CHRYSLER BLOGS HE FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER MODELS AROUND 2011.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY FOUND THEY FOUND THE RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP LEVEL UNIT LEAKING ON TOP . I BELIEVE IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 2 BLOCKS FROM HOME. PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT EVENING WE COULD SMELL GAS FROM OUR FRONT PORCH, TEN FEET FROM THE CAR. CURIOUS WE OPENED THE CAR AND THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WAS PUNGENT FROM THE ODOR OF GAS. CALLED AAA AND TOWED TO LOCAL CAR REPAIR. PLASTIC CAP ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK LOCATED BELOW REAR PASSENGER SEAT FAILED, ACCESS TO 2ND FUEL PUMP. THE PLASIC FAILURE ALLOWED GAS LEAK. THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THE PLASTIC CAP APPEARED DETERIORATED FROM FUEL. WE HAD THE PUMP AND CAP REPLACED. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MATERIAL IN THE CAP, AND THE DANGER IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL GAS LEAK.

SO, I WAS PARKED WAITING ON HUBBY TO GET OUT OF THE STORE, WITH THE CAR ON, SINCE HE WAS JUST GOING TO PICK SOMETHING UP FAST, IT STARTED TO SMELL, LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, LIKE REALLY BAD, EVEN MY SON, WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SMELL. HUBBY COMES BACK, AND I TELL HIM, AND HE SAID IT SMELLED LIKE BURNT PLASTIC, SO WE EXIT THE PARKING, AND ON MY WAY HOME, I FELT THE CAR WEIRD,I PROCEEDED, TO A DRIVE THRU, WHERE THE SMELL CAME BACK AGAIN, WE HEARD A WEIRD NOISE, BUT DIDN'T THINK ANY OF IT, AS I WAS EXCITING THE DRIVE THRU, THE LIGHT OF THE BATTERY CAME ON, THEN ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR POPPED UP, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL, I PARKED, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND POPPED THE HOOD OPEN, THERE WAS SMOKE AND SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING, WE WITH OUR KIDS GOT OFF THE CAR, AND WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME, I HAD TO TOW IT AND TAKE IT IN.HUBBY, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE, AND THE CAR STARTED GETTING FEELING FORCED, HE TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, AND IT FELT HEAVY. WE WAITED 20 MINUTES, AND SINCE WE WERE JUST A BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME, HUBBY DROVE IT BACK HOME, AND SINCE THEN HAVEN'T MOVED IT..

I BOUGHT MY CHRYSLER 300 NEW IN 2011. AROUND SEPTEMBER 2013, I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR. THE "BATTERY SAVE MODE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR THEN STARTED TO LOOSE POWER, THEN EVENTUALLY STOP RUNNING. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD. A NEW ALTERNATOR WAS INSTALLED, NOT EVEN A MONTH WENT BUY, THE NEW ALTERNATOR STOP WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A SECOND ALTERNATOR AND NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN, MAKING THIS 3 ALTERNATORS INSTALLED 1.5 YEARS SPREAD. THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST CHRYSLER I'LL PURCHASE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LITE CAME ON STAYED ON AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE ENGINE STARTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER IN WILMINGTON, NC. THE DEALER FOUND DTC FOR INCORRECT GEAR RATIO AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. OLD CODE WAS #68065111AF AND THE NEW #WAS 68065111AG. SINCE THAT PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED REACHES 40MPH IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WANTS TO DOWNSHIFT. PRIOR TO THE CODE CHANGE IT WAS VERY SMOOTH AND NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR A RESOLUTION BUT ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. WHAT HAS CAUSED ME TO SUBMIT THIS PROBLEM IS THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED TODAY ON MY LATEST INQUIRY. I FEEL THAT THIS CONDITION IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO YOU NOT KNOWING HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO REACT AT THIS SPEED, WHAT GEAR IS IT POSSIBLY GOING TO SELECT. HAS THIS OR A SIMILAR PROBLEM BEEN SUBMITTED BEFORE. THE DRIVETRAIN IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT IF CHRYSLER CAN'T PROVIDE ADEQUATE TECHNICAL RESPONSES THEN WHAT DO YOU DO. IF ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL PROVIDE WHATEVER I HAVE.

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND AN ODOR OF GAS WAS PRESENT IN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE. THEY CHECKED FOR A GAS LEAK AND FOUND IT UNDER THE REAR SEAT. I WILL QUOTE THE INVOICE (165567) DAYTON ANDREWS INC.. "FOUND GAS DRIPPING OF SIDE FOR GAS TANK COMING FROM THE TOP. REMOVED BACK SEAT TO FIND CONNECTOR WAS NOT FULLY INSTALLED. THEY INSTALLED CONNECTOR AND CLEAR CODES. VEHICLE CHECKS OK AT THIS TIME". THE SERVICE MGR. SAID "WE CLEANED UP THE GAS AS BEST WE COULD, AND THAT THE ODOR SHOULD DISSIPATE IN A FEW DAYS". IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN I DO, I NEED TO HAVE ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN. THIS I FEEL IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF MAJOR ACCIDENT AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS CONNECTION THAT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY WAS DONE OR NOT DONE AT THE FACTORY.

I WAS TRAVELING HWY 61 HEADED BACK TO YAZOO CITY, MS FROM GREENVILLE, MS MADE IT ABOUT 60 MILES FROM HOME IN AN RURAL AREA AND THE CAR JUST DIED-THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT TO FLASHING THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE STALLED THEN THE STEERING GOT SO TIGHT THEN IT JUST STOPPED AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I PAID FOR THE EXPENSIVE TOW, SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY PRIOR TO THIS BREAKDOWN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS HESITATE CRANKING-THEN AFTER THIS BREAKDOWN, I DISCOVERED THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD-I BOUGHT A NEW ALTERNATOR-CHRYSLER HAS REIMBURSE ME FOR THE ALTERNATOR AND LABOR, BATTERY, AND TOWING. BUT I WASNT REIMBURSED FOR THE USE OF AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WHILE MY CAR WAS DOWN AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR- IT WENT OUT AGAIN ON OCTOBER 30 AND MY CAR WAS DOWN ALL OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER AND PART OF JANUARY UNTIL ROUNDTREE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE DID A TEMPORARY FIX BY INSTALLING ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE THE RECALL PARTS HAVEN'T BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO CHRYSLER AT THAT TIME AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION ADVISED ME THAT I COULD GET A TEMPORARY FIX.

SO I'M REQUESTING THAT CHRYSLER PAY FOR THE FOR INVOICES OF MILEAGE FROM USAGE OF AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE OF WHICH YOU ALREADY HAVE A FILE AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF CHRYSLER CAN COVER MY MEDICAL BILL AS WELL BECAUSE THIS IS SIMPLY NOT RIGHT FOR ME THE CUSTOMER TO ENDURE THESE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES ALONG WITH THIS FRUSTRATION, PAIN, AND SUFFERING. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2012; WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE DEALER HAD JUST HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL FIXED (SWITCH REPLACED?)

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THE PART FOR RECALL #P60/NHTSA 14V-634 WILL BE AVAILABLE? IT MAKES ME VERY ANXIOUS & NERVOUS TO DRIVE AROUND KNOWING THAT MY CAR COULD EXPERIENCE A RAPID FAILURE AT ANY TIME CAUSING ME OR SOMEONE ELSE INJURY OR DEATH! IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT CHRYSLER CANNOT GIVE ME AN ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THIS "ALTERNATOR DIODE" WILL BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY "DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA" AND REALLY SEEMED IRRITATED THAT I WAS CALLING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID "YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE!" VERY RUDE-AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. MY DEALER HAS NO IDEA EITHER. I BELIEVE I DESERVE A BETTER RESPONSE AND A TIMELY FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I GOT A BATTERY SAVER MODE MESSAGE. I HAD BEEN GETTING THE MESSAGE A FEW DAYS NOW AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT. A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE COMMUTE, I STARTED SMELLING A BURNING SMELL. ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL OF THE VEHICLES SYSTEMS START TO SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR JUST DIES (WHILE I'M DRIVING IT)! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT USING THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR, BUT I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO USE MY HAZARD LIGHTS. IT HAD COMPLETELY DIED. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WITH STRONG BURNING ODOR. DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED THAT ALTERNATOR BLEW AND CAUSED BLOWN BATTERY. ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL DAMAGE POSSIBLE. DEALER SAYS WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR REPAIRS AND HOPE TO GET REIMBURSED WHEN CHRYSLER BEGINS NOTIFICATION OF RECALL PROCESS. *TR

ON THE AFTERNOON OF 11/5/2014 I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROX. 45-50 MPH WHEN I NOTICED MY 2011 CHRYSLER 300 MAKING A WHINING SOUND. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I SMELLED WHAT SEEMED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. I THEN NOTICED THAT MY ABS AND ESC LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. A MESSAGE STATING "BATTERY SAVING MODE" APPEARED ON THE HUD AND EVERYTHING BEGAN TO SHUTDOWN. I HAD ZERO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND BRAKING. WHAT'S SO BAD IS THAT I HAD MY 20 MONTH OLD AND MY 10 YEAR OLD KIDS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I WAS UNABLE TO JUMP START THE CAR AND ENDED UP HAVING TO GET IT TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. *TR

ON SATURDAY 11-1-14 I STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH THERE WAS A SLIGHT HESITATION STARTING. NO WARNINGS WERE PRESENT EVEN WHEN I REVIEWED ALL THE POSSIBLE ONES VIA THE INFORMATION CENTER. I DROVE THE CAR TO 2 DESTINATIONS AND WITH EACH START I NOTICED THE SAME HESITATION WITH INCREASING TIME. AGAIN NO MESSAGES PROVIDED BY THE VEHICLE. ON THE 3RD DESTINATION THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL EVEN WITH ATTEMPTS TO JUMP START THE CAR. I THEN PURCHASED A BATTERY AND DROVE TO THE AUTO ZONE NEARBY AND THEIR TESTER REVEALED A DEAD BATTERY SO LOW THAT A JUMP WAS NOT POSSIBLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALER WITH THE INFO ABOUT RECALL P60 DATED 10-8-14 THAT MY VEHICLE PERFECTLY MATCHED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED THEN I HAD 4 EPISODES OF FULL PANEL ALARMS DISPLAYED AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO STEER. AUTO HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY SAVER MODE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,500.

SATURDAY MORNING, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY 'BATTERY SAVING MODE' LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THEN THE WIPERS WENT ON. NUMEROUS OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING TROUBLE. THE RADIO WENT OFF ON ITS OWN AND I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO GET IT BACK ON AND NO LUCK. THE ON SCREEN PRINT CHANGED TO ANOTHER LANGUAGE. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO HEAD TO THE DEALER AND ON THE EXIT RAMP, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY, WAS IN ONE OF THE TWO LANES AND CARS WERE ABLE TO GO AROUND ME. A GENTLEMAN WHO HAD WITNESSED MY TROUBLE ON THE HIGHWAY PULLED OVER TO HELP ME. I COULDN'T EVEN UNLOCK THE OTHER DOORS OR OPEN THE TRUNK (WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED) AND HE COULD NOT GET IN AS I HAD THE SEAT PULLED FORWARD TO DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT BUDGE DUE TO NO ELECTRIC POWER. I HAD POLICE WAIT BEHIND ME FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALER ADVISED THIS MORNING AFTER DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THE ALTERNATOR BURNED UP THE BATTERY AND I HAVE TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM REPLACED! COST IS APPROX. $1100. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL. MY ISSUES SOUND IDENTICAL TO OTHERS REPORTED HERE! HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? ALSO THIS IS MY 4TH CHRYSLER 300. I AM VERY LUCKY THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY ITSELF IN THE MIDST OF RUSH HOUR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY BATTERY SAFE MODE LIGHT WAS ON. THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN DISPLAYING OTHER LIGHTS SUCH AS MY ENGINE LIGHT AND A CAR WITH SKID LINES BELOW IT LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER IN MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING MY OTHER LIGHTS BEGAN TO TURN ( MIND YOU IT IS 9:30 ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT). MY CAR BEGINS TO STALL WHILE I HAVE MY SON, AND 3 OTHER CHILDREN IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD (SAFELY WITH MY LIGHTS OUT) INTO A SCHOOL. NEVER ONE DID I GET A WARNING THAT MY CAR WOULD SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON IN HOPES OF GETTING BACK UP AND RUNNING AND TO NO AVAIL. HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON MY WAY HOME ON A BUSY I-10 HWY. LUCKILY I WAS DROPPING MY BROTHER OFF AND NEVER MADE IT ON THE HWY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 3 YEARS AGO AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CAR IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND I PAID FOR THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE ALTERNATOR BUT WHEN I REQUESTED MY DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR BACK THEY REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO ME WITHOUT PAYING THEM AN ADDITIONAL FEE. I WANTED TO TAKE THE ALTERNATOR TO GET INSPECTED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. *TR

IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER, THE RADIO FLICKERED ON OFF AND MY CAR WAS STILL GOING BUT MY GAUGES THE RADIO, NOTHING WORKED. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A MAC TRUCK, TRYING TO CROSS OVER THREE LANES TO GET TO THE SERVICE ROAD. THE ENGINE STALLED, IT WAS HARD TO STEER AND LUCKILY THERE WAS A GAS STATION NEARBY. THREE PEOPLE TRIED TO GIVE ME A JUMP AND NOTHING WOKED AND THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNINGS. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK ONLY TO FIND THAT MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE FRIED. THE WORST THING IS I CALLED CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE P60 RECALL AND THEY DID NOT OWN UP TO THE DEFAULT UNTIL THE SECOND TIME I CALLED FROM DOING MY OWN RESEARCH. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD FOR ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED. I HAVE OWNED THREE DIFFRENT 300S OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS AND THIS WILL BE MY LAST. SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO ISSUES THAT DESERVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE SPENT ALL DAY ON THE PHONE TRYING TO REPLACE THIS PART AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT CARRIES THE PART IS CHRYSLER, WHAT A RIPOFF. THIS WILL COST ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A YEAR AND CURRENTLY STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON. *TR

ON MORNING OF 10/24/14 WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED A MESSAGE CAME ON STATING "BATTERY SAVING MODE" LOOKED AT MANUAL THERE WAS NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT THAT MEANT. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, WHILE DRIVING THE RPM INDICATOR WOULD MOVE UP ON ITS OWN AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION AND ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AFTER THE WARNING CAME ON THE CAR DESPITE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THEN A RATTLING NOISE CAME ON SO I QUICKLY PROCEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY. AS I TRIED TO DO THAT THE STEERING STARTED LOCKING UP, I HAD TO PUSH VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND STOP IT. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, UNABLE TO TURN ON OR OPERATE ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE JUMP STARTED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY WERE UNABLE TO CHARGE UP THE BATTERY AND NOW THEY BELIEVE AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE MAY BE THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE TO STALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I SMELLED A "BURNING MARSHMALLOW" SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, THE ABS LIGHT, A CAR WITH ZIGZAGS ICON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHED ON MY SCREEN. FOLLOWED BY THE RADIO, AIR VENTS, AND POWER STEERING SHUTTING ITSELF ON AND OFF. WITHIN 1-2 MILES MY CAR WAS DONE. MY ALTERNATOR WAS TOAST. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL ON THE 3.6 L ENGINE, 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. SO UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY PUT ANOTHER OEM ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT CHRYSLER SENT ME TO, REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH A DIFFERENT ONE THAT ISN'T RECALLED. THEY REFUSED BECAUSE CHRYSLER HASN'T "LAUNCHED" THE RECALL YET. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS? WHEN THE RECALL IS LAUNCHED I WILL HAVE TO AGAIN REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. APPROX. NOV. 28, 2014. HOPEFULLY I WON'T EXPERIENCE A FRYING OUT ALTERNATOR BEFORE THEN. VIN [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON OCTOBER 11, 2014 I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR TWICE THAT DAY. THAT EVENING WHILE DROPPING MY LITTLE COUSIN BACK HOME, MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AND THE CAR CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, NO POWER OR NOTHING. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR NOT EVEN FIVE MONTHS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED. NOW IT'S JUST SITTING IN MY YARD AND I AM HAVING TO CATCH A TAXI TO WORK. IT TO BEAUTIFUL OF A CAR TO JUST SIT THERE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COMPLETED A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WANT $800.00 TO REPAIR. CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT, BECAUSE ALL OF MY MONEY IS GOING TOWARDS TAXI FARE, AND THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER REPAIRS. JUST IMAGINE IF I WERE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND THIS HAPPENED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AS THE BATTERY SAVER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT FROM THE VENT.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM CAR, I IMMEDIATELY OPENED THE DOOR AND BEGAN TO VEER OFF THE ROAD. ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, THE RADIO SHUT OFF, GAUGES STOPPED WORKING, POWER STEERING STOPPED, BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING, WIPERS CAME ON AND CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STALL AND BEGAN TO VIBRATE. ALL DOORS LOCKED AND WINDOWS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND I ALMOST GOT TRAPPED IN IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR WHICH RUINED MY BATTERY. WAS CHARGED NEARLY $1,000.00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE COLLISION, ABS, AND TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. UPDATED 10/31/14*LJ UPDATED 4/28/2015 *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TPMS LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF SPORADICALLY. WE STOPPED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION TO CHECK THE PRESSURE AND ALL THE TIRES HAD ADEQUATE PRESSURE. I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED TO SEE IT THAT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED. THIS STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FINALLY FED UP, I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL FIRESTONE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE SYSTEM. FIRESTONE CHANGED THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. WHEN I LEFT, THE CAR WAS FINE, NO ERRORS. ON MY WAY TO WORK ON THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I RETURNED TO FIRESTONE AND THIS IS WHEN THEY SHARED WITH ME THAT THE SENSOR THAT WAS BAD WAS NOT THE ONE THAT THEY CHANGED, BUT THE ONE IN THE REAR. AS A COURTESY, THEY CHANGED THE REAR SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, THE READING ON THE CAR WAS STILL FAULTY. BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK, THIRTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER, NEITHER OF THE SENSORS THAT FIRESTONE CHANGED WERE READING BY THE CAR. THE TIRE PRESSURE FOR BOTH TIRES READ --. I CALLED A CHRYSLER DEALER IN TACOMA TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT THERE. I DID NOT TELL THEM THAT I HAD TWO SENSORS CHANGED ALREADY BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS ON THE CAR. IRONICALLY, THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED FOUR TPMS SENSORS AND IT WOULD COST $900. WHEN MY HUSBAND TOLD THEM THAT I?D ALREADY HAD TWO SENSORS REPLACED, THEY CAME BACK SAYING THAT EITHER THE WORK WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY OR THEY DID NOT RECODE THE SENSORS TO THE CAR. MY HUSBAND THEN TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FIRESTONE;FIRESTONE PUT FOUR BRAND NEW ORIGINAL CHRYSLER TPMS SENSORS ON THE CAR, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SENSORS STILL WERE NOT READING. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD HIM BRING THE CAR IN. THEY CLEARED THE CODES ? THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. BEFORE I WAS OFF WORK, THE SENSOR ON THE DRIVER FRONT WAS AGAIN READING --. THE CODE WILL CLEAR ITSELF, THEN COME BACK ON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT ABOUT 10:30 PM MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. MY CONSOLE WENT BLACK AND UNRESPONSIVE, THE BRAKE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING, THE CAR WAS DINGING BEFORE ANY OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS CAME ON, THE WINDOWS WEREN'T WORKING CONSISTENTLY, THE A/C STOPPED WORKING, AND EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT AND GET THE CAR TO A GAS STATION. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER I TURNED IT OFF. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER THAT NIGHT. THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE THE NEXT MORNING WAS THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE THEY HAD SEEN A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. FOUR DAYS LATER THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS GONE AND THAT THE BATTERY WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. AT MY REQUEST CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND THE NEARLY $1000 REPAIR BILL WAS REDUCED TO A THIRD WITH CHRYSLER PICKING UP ALL BUT THE DIAGNOSTICS AND THE COST OF THE BATTERY AND THE LABOR TO INSTALL IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS ON INTERSTATE 40 WHEN I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE JUST AS I TOOK MY EXIT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I WENT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND SOON AS I PULLED IN MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN. THE MESSAGE SAID IT COULD NOT DETECT MY KEY AND IT WAS GOING INTO BATTERY SAVING MODE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, ALL POWER WAS LOST AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, I WAS UNABLE TO ROLL UP MY WINDOWS AND LOCK MY DOORS. IT WAS AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND THE GAS STATION WAS CLOSED I HAD TO ENLIST HELP FROM STRANGERS TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I ENDED UP STAYING AT A HOTEL OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING I WAS ABLE TO GET A JUMP AND GET TO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND DETERMINED THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAILING. I AM NOW IN A POSITION WHERE I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE LIGHTS ON,WHICH MEANS I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT I CAN'T USE THE AC AND IT IS JULY, OR DRIVE WITH THE RADIO ON UNTIL I AM ABLE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. I AM RUNNING OFF OF BATTERY POWER ALONE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. *TR

FIRST NOTICED A "WHINING" NOISE WHEN IDLING THAT INCREASED AS I ACCELERATED. I HAD A BURNING SMELL, NOT SURE HOW IT WAS RELATED. NEXT SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS "BATTERY SAVER MODE" MESSAGE ON ELECTRONIC DISPLAY. SOON AFTER, REVERSE CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, THE RADIO TURNED OFF BY ITSELF, REAR DEFROSTER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DIDN'T WORK. LAST SIGN WAS TRACTION CONTROL & ABS LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. RIGHT AS I PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP, CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER (NO STEERING, WIPERS CAME ON, ALL LIGHTS ON DASH FLASHED AND HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING). 2 DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS BUT ONLINE SEARCHES SEEMED TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. *TR

THE FIRST OCCURRED 4 DAYS EARLIER AND IT HAD BURNT OUT MY BATTERY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND HAD NO LOANER CAR FOR ME. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED. THEY TOLD ME THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED OUT ON THE COMPUTER, WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND MUST OF BEEN THE BATTERY. WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 4 DAYS LATER, BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH THE ABS AND ANTI-SKID LIGHTS. WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, RADIO CUT OFF AND THEN LOST POWER AND ACCELERATION. COASTED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND OPENED THE HOOD WHERE THERE WAS THE ODOR OF ELECTRICAL SHORT AND BURNING. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED 4 DAYS EARLIER. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLES. MILEAGE IS 36,800. *TR

WHILE COMING A STOP, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED A 'SYSTEM ERROR' LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. TRAFFIC WAS IMPEDED AND A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS WERE NARROWLY AVOIDED. AFTER TOWING IT TO THE DEALER, I'M TOLD THAT THE LIKELY CULPRIT IS THE ALTERNATOR WHICH "ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT ON THESE CARS, RIGHT AROUND THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY," ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. WARRANTY ON THIS PART IS 36,000 MILES AND MY CAR WAS AT 36,650 MILES. AFTER YELLING AND SCREAMING, THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD LOWER THE COST FROM $1,100 TO $900. WHEN PRESSED, HE SAID THE PRICE FOR THE ALTERNATOR ALONE WAS $600, EXCLUDING ANY LABOR. I AM FURIOUS THAT THIS IS A 'KNOWN PROBLEM' AND YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND FROM THE LIST OF OTHER COMPLAINANTS ON THIS SITE, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A CONSISTENT AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO REVIEW THIS PROBLEM AND ADDRESS IT. MY OPTIONS ARE LIMITED. I NEED MY CAR BACK. HOPEFULLY, WHEN I GET IT RETURNED TO ME, THE PROBLEM WILL BE GONE. BUYER BEWARE, APPARENTLY, THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND PERVASIVE PROBLEM. *JS

MY RADIO SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEN THE BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I CALLED THE DEALER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT ISSUE AND BRING IT NEXT DAY TO BE CHECKED. WHILE I ATTEMPTING TO TURN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND LOCKED UP IN THE INTERSECTION. I HAD NO STEERING AND EVERY LIGHT TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD. I WAS THEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ON AN 8 LANE HIGHWAY. A SEPARATE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THIS BECAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN GET THE FLASHERS TO WORK. LUCKILY THE DEALER WAS RIGHT UP THE STREET AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD AND IT WOULD COST $800 TO REPLACE IT. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN ON A NEWER CAR AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PROBLEM BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHERS EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE ILLUMINATION BECAME EXTREMELY DIM AND FAILED TO PROJECT LIGHTING TO THE ENTIRE ROAD. THERE WAS A REDUCTION IN THE VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

RADIO SHUT OFF. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A PICTURE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH. IT WAS RAINING HARD, THEREFORE, I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE WIPERS DID NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY DUE TO THE PROBLEM (IT WENT TO A SLOW MOTION). AS SOON AS I PULLED OVER, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. HAD TO GET MY CAR PUSHED BY A COP AND MY BOYFRIEND OUT OF A DANGEROUS SPOT WHERE IT LEFT ME STUCK, TOWED, TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT IT IS THE ALTERNATOR AND REPAIRS ARE AROUND $800, AND A 63$ DIAGNOSIS FEE! REALLY!? NO ONE HAS IT IN STOCK, AND ONE STORE TOLD ME "THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THOSE ALTERNATORS BECAUSE THE FACTORY DOESN'T HAVE THEM EITHER, SORRY YOU NEED TO CALL THE DEALER." *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,843.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE RADIO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND THE BATTERY SAVER MODE MESSAGE CAME ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER. UPON MY RESEARCH I FOUND MANY WEBSITES WHERE OWNERS OF 2011 CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLES REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES. THE END RESULT WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR. THE CONSENSUS AMONG THE COMPLAINTS IS AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES THE ALTERNATOR GOES BAD. AS OF 05/30/2014 I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DID STATE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING MANY CALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ON THIS SITE AS OF TODAY THERE ARE ABOUT 7 COMPLAINTS WHICH WERE REPORTED RECENTLY AND WONDER IF THEIR VEHICLES ALSO HAVE THE SAME MILEAGE AS MINE. *TR

WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON STATING BATTERY SAVER MODE. MY RADIO SHUT OFF. COULD NOT BE TURNED ON. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE. *JS

AFTER BEING REPAIRED 3 TIMES OF THE BATTERY SAVE MODE ILLUMINATION ON THE PANEL AND THE PART REPAIRED WAS THE ALTERNATOR THE BATTERY SAVE MODE STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND OFF AND A WEIRD LOUD NOISE COMES FROM THE FRONT ENGINE. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO CHECK IT THAT DATE I ASKED IF I COULD STILL DRIVE IT AROUND AND THE SERVICE REPAIR SPECIALIST SAID THEIR WAS NO PROBLEM, I STATED THAT THE MANUAL SAID THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED. IT IS A CONCERN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ON MY SCHEDULE TO TAKE THE CAR IN NOR THEY OFFER TO GIVE ME A RENTAL AND THAT IS BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT COVERS A RENTAL. *TR

TODAY MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO OPEN WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL NOR START. I WENT TO THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO PUT SOME ITEMS I HAD BOUGHT AND THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO OPEN EITHER I HAD TO OPEN THE CAR MANUALLY. THE BATTERY SAVE MODE ILLUMINATION WAS ON. *TR

THE PLASTIC DECALS IN THE CHRYSLER SIGN CAME OFF AS I WAS CLOSING THE TRUCK I WENT TO THE FRONT AND THE PLASTIC DECAL OVER THE CHRYSLER SIGN WASN'T THEIR I DON'T KNOW AT WHAT TIME IT FELL OFF. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING THE "BATTERY SAVING MODE" IN THE DASH BOARD FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. THEY HAVE REPAIRED IT SAYING THAT I HAVE A BAD ALTERNATOR. WELL IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND AGAIN THE LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO CHECK IT FOR ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THAT IT WAS SAVE TO DRIVE. *TR

BATTERY SIGN CAME ON THE DASH BOARD AND A BAD LOUD NOISE COULD BE HEARD FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND UPON THEIR INSPECTION I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR AND A BAD BATTERY THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COULD OF CAUSED IT. *TR

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD TOOK INTO THE DEALER SHOP AND UPON ARRIVAL IT SMELLED LIKE BURN. THE ADVISOR WAS A WITNESS. THE OUTCOME IS A BAD ALTERNATOR AGAIN. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE CAUSE. IT WAS JUST REPLACED 3 WEEKS AGO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A NON ILLUMINATED ROAD THE HEADLIGHT BEAM EXTENDS ABOUT 12 THEN ANGLES TO RIGHT AND LEFT. WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS NO ILLUMINATION TO RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN TURNING. MAKING THE TURN IS LIKE DRIVING INTO A BLACK HOLE. THERE COULD BE A PERSON OR IMPEDIMENT IN THE WAY AND IT CANNOT BE DETECTED. A SOLUTION IS FOR THE HEADLIGHT BEAM TO ANGLE TO RIGHT AND LEFT MUCH CLOSER TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH CHRYSLER CASE # [XXX] AND DEACONS CHRYSLER, MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OHIO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 12/30/13*CN UPDATED 01/14/14

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH, WHEN A MESSAGE POP UP SAYING THE CAR WAS OPERATING ON RESERVE BATTERY POWER, ABS/ESC, LIGHTS CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE LIGHTS, CAR THEN LOST POWER, I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO A SAFE LOCATION. I BOUGHT A $200. BATTERY, THE CAR IS STILL DEAD, CALL THE DEALER, BUT HAVE NOT TOOK IT DOWN YET. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE N07 REGARDING IMPROPER FRONT AIRBAG WIRING ; HAVE CONTACTED SELLING DEALER ( MILFORD AUTO GROUP LLC, 1470 BOSTON POST RD, MILFORD, CT 06460 ) 3 TIMES.

ALTERNATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE ENGINE WAS STOPPED\CAR PARKED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, THE BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION ABOUT 3 MILES. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS SMELL OF SOMETHING BEING "HOT" AND I RAISED THE HOOD TO SEE IF I COULD SEE IT. THE ALTERNATOR WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY HOT, AND SLIGHTLY SMOKING. ASSUMING IT WAS OK NOW THAT I HAD TURNED IT OFF, I WENT INSIDE THE BUILDING TO CALL THE DEALER. LUCKILY, I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY FURTHER AND DECIDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND WENT OUTSIDE TO WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE CAR, THE ALTERNATOR HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS BLAZING, DROPPING SOME MELTED MATERIALS ONTO A UNDERBODY AIR DAM AND APPEARED TO BE SPREADING. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BEFORE ANY MORE DAMAGE OCCURRED. IT APPEARS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND THERE IS SOME WIRING DAMAGE AS WELL AS SOME DAMAGE TO THE SURROUNDING WIRING HARNESS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS FIRE WOULD HAVE SPREAD TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, AS IT APPEARED TO BE SELF-PROPAGATING AND ON ITS OWN WOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT. *TR

SHIFTER WAS SQUEAKY SOUNDED LIKE AN OLD CAR EVERY TIME YOU SHIFTED TO A DIFFERENT POSITION. TOOK IN TO THE DEALER SERVICES CENTER AND WHILE THEY WERE FIXING OTHER ISSUES THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO THEY DID. NOW 6,000 LATER IT SOUNDS THE SAME AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN ONES AGAIN FOR OTHER ISSUES THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACES. APPARENTLY THE SHIFTER IS DEFECTIVE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 36,000 AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES AND ALL DIFFERENT ISSUES.

MY CAR WHEN IT IS IN AN INCLINE AND YOU REVERSE IT MAKE A VERY LOUD STOMP THAT YOU CAN HEAR INSIDE AND OUT. THE INCLINE CAN BE AT A MINIMUM TO HIGH. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF . AT THE DEALER THEY TELL ME THAT IS NORMAL. HOW CAN IT BE NORMAL WHEN IT SOUNDS SUPER LOUD THAT OTHERS CAN HEAR IT. KNOW WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WOULD NOT DO THIS. WHY IS IT DOING IT KNOW? AND ON AND OFF.

WAS IN A TRIP IN SAN ANTONIO, TX TOWARDS SIX FLAGS THEIR IS HILLS WELL COMING DOWN ONE TO STOP AT THE LIGHT THE CAR DINT WANT TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP AND THE WAS A VERY UGLY NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES AND NO IT WAS NOT THE ANTI-BRAKES BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS DIFFERENT. TOOK IN TO NEAREST DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THE CAR STAYED OVER NIGHT AND WAS CHECKED TWICE BY A TECHNICIAN AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID STATE THAT THEY COULD HEAR SOMETHING BUT COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS. 3 1/2 WEEKS LATER I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO SERVICE IN THE DEALER WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS THE ROTORS THAT NEED TO BE RECTIFIED BUT ARE NOT SURE IF THAT IS IT OR NOT. THEY ALSO HEAR SQUEAKING ON AND OFF AT DIFFERENT POINTS BUT DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
